BRKUPDCX.EXE  ver. 1.0  ZSoft Corporation

This program is used to break up a .DCX file into individual .PCX files.  The maximum number of images contained in a .DCX file is 1024.  The minimum is 1.

To invoke the program, type "BRKUPDCX input_filename output_filename". Both filenames can include a pathname.  

For example:

	User types "BRKUPDCX c:\fax\nation.dcx c:\fax\states"

The program automatically generates the complete .PCX filename by first appending the first 5 characters of the output_filename to the output pathname if one was given by the user.  The five letters are taken from the actual file name, not the path , so in this example the template for the output files is "c:\fax\state".

Then the program generates a numerical 3 character appendage and a pcx extension.  (Example) c:\fax\state001.pcx

The input file_name must have a .DCX extension.


Example 1:  User types "BRKUPDCX c:\fax\nation.dcx c:\fax\states"

If nation.dcx contains 3 images, these files are created:

	c:\fax\state001.pcx
	c:\fax\state002.pcx
	c:\fax\state003.pcx


Example 2: User types "BRKUPDCX c:\doc\bigfile.dcx a:temp"

If bigfile.dcx contains 3 images, these files are created:

	a:\temp001.pcx
	a:\temp002.pcx
	a:\temp003.pcx

The program may be interrupted by pressing the ESC key.  Any incomplete .PCX files are deleted.

The .DCX file is never deleted by the program.
